philippe noël's selection vol.2
"canicule tropicale au féminin"
the hardest working chef is back with a lovely tropical music selection!
montreal's tropical music fiend philippe noël mixed some obscure but amazing female vocal tunes from angola, ethiopia, kenya, brazil, martinique...
his dishes never get cold, but we definitely recommend to try it while it is fresh!
dj papito presents
"el recolector: panama golden nuggets!"
dj papito digs and cooks panama!
panama can no longer be the hot place for the record diggers?
this mix tells us that panama is still the bountiful reservoir of the dance music, and papito cooked them to his own super recipe!
a great tropical voyage! vikram sohonie mix the lost tropical gems from the musical golden ages of west africa,
french west indies, south americas and asia.... with the pleasure to discover
how rich and deep the african and african diasporas' cultures are!
in his tropical mix for us, adrian leach spun the amazing record by mme dupuits - it's the sound called quadrille (kadri or kadwi'y in creole) from guadeloupe.
raymond philogene shot reynoir casimir dit négoce and the seasoned musicians playing the quadrille with a good atmosphere - superb video!
tropical, tropical!!
adrian leach's selection
"happy jazz tropical mix vol.1"
we are very happy to restart with adrian leach from happy jazz.
actually the philosophy of happy jazz has encouraged us to get our website
restarted and we're excited to do it now.
this mix is a companion piece to his 2nd tropical mix @ sofrito (which had heavy rotation on our ipod in 2010 )... we have to apologize
for hogging this great mix for a while, we're sorry adrian, we're sorry
amigos.
in any case, another massive mix!
we're back!
as you know, we are facing unprecedented difficulties after devastating
earthquake and tsunami.
we received a lot of encouraging message from friends all over the world. we appreciate it.
still good music gives us some energy to confront those difficulties and step forward.
so we need music.
please keep on diggin' amigos. please play it loud in your area.
and we play it loud!
